Seems I've opened a big can of worms here with my wee quest to find out who actually owns the rights to distribute or sell Workbench Disk sets... All I can say is Im glad I only got round to going on the net last summer as if this bury your head in the sand BS and you can't mention that here crap has been going on for all these years then I'm glad I missed it... Strange place Amigaland these days for the few of us remaining and who just want to get on with using our Amigas because we actually enjoy them. We seem to be thwarted at every turn by a bunch of hypocrites and to be honest just plain wankers who think that their ignorant opinions on copyright laws and even more bloody annoying holier than thou attitudes should be imposed on the rest of us... :madashell:Now setting aside all the politicking and behind the scenes stuff that happens on these forums, it's becoming more and more clear just who & what the owners think is more important to their sites. It's clear that Amiga Emulators and therefore PCs are more important than genuine Amiga Hardware users and members, sad but there you have it and we now know where we all stand... Perhaps a rename of the site to AmigaEmulator.org might be more appropriate... As for me whether it upsets the site owners or not because they value Cloanto more than their members, then sorry but I won't be stopping my wee quest to put this issue to rest once and for all. If that means I am not allowed to do so here or am banned for doing so, then so be it, I have to admit it would be a shame as I really love this site and the vast majority of its members with whom I've had great fun and had the pleasure of interacting with... Whether I do so partially from this site my own or numerous other options I have, then I simply won't be stopping nor be stopped by anyone in my attempt to answer this question once and for all... It high time everyone who cares stopped for a moment and takes in the reality of just how asburd, stupid and petty all this nonsense is and we all put our efforts together and force this issue to a point where whomever it is who claims to hold these rights is challenged in a court of law to prove it so. This has been going on long before I came along and will continue to do so unless we take a stand and force the issue once and for all... At the end of the day all these years of nonsense has done nothing but harm to the image of the Amiga Community and will just continue to make us a bigger laughing stock than we already are in the world of computers... So I ask all who are willing, think about it carefully and if like me you want to end all this nonsense then please stand up and be counted and express your thoughts and opinions on it here and anywhere else you can loudly and proudly and for once together we can finally achieve something good for the Amiga Community...
PS:as It's obvious Cloanto has been reading these posts then there is no need to contact them, perhaps it's time they spoke for themselves, how about it Cloanto...
